TO ALL 'WHOM IT MAY CONGERN:

Bo it known that we, JAMES S. AT'rnnnUnY and Tnouns B. ATT-unsern', ofPittsburg, in the countyot Allegheny, and State oflennsylvania, haveinvented a new und useful Improvement in thc Manufacture of Glass Ware;and'wc do hereby declaro that the following isa full, clear, und exactdescription thereof, referi enee'hei'ng had to the accompanying'drawings, making u pai-tof this specification, inwhich Figure 1 isvertical central section through'a sii-up-or cream-pitcher constructedby our improved method.

Figure 2 is a side view of the improved pitcher.

Figure 3 is an elevation of the back part of the pitcher.:

Figure 4 is u top view of the same.

Figure 5 is a. sectional view of a. portion ot'a pitcher, taken throughone of the rivctholes.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the`several figures. y

The object of this inver-.tion is to produce n new. and improvedmolasses or crcam-pitcher,"of glass, by blowing-thc glass ina.meulilwith the' mouth or lip complete, and'with perforationsthroughit," by means of which a metallic hingcdcover or lid can bereadily and permanently secured* to the pitcher, and fitted to -themouth thereof, so as to producefaneat and perfectjob, as will behereinafter described.

` To enable others skilled ,in the art to understand our invention, wewill describe its construction and operation. l l In the accompanyingdrawings, A represents the body of the pitcher, whichis constructed witha Baring top, having a lip or mouth, B, by blowing glass into a. mould.,which will produce such form as I have repre` .sented in the drawings,or substantially this for-m. In producing this pitcher we makeindentations in it near its'laring upper edge, and nt n suitabledistance apart, on each side ot' thc point, for attaching the handle C.A'.lhese indentations may beproduced `by having pins or pointedstudsupon the mould, in such positions as will leave such impressions inproperplace nt'ter thonet or operation of blowing` It is not expectedthat the pins or studs upon the nidulds will leave holes through thepitcher, but they will leave theglnss so'thin atproper points t0. makethe holes, th-at with a sharp instrument the glass can be readily andsafely perforated.

The handle C may be stuck to tho pitcher in any suitable manner, afterwhich the metallic cover is insbV cned in its place. This cover consistsolua. fixe-d section,.a, and a hinged section,'b. The section ais con'-structed with a lip, c, which extends below the cover portion, und isfitted snugly in contact with the mouth of the pitehcr, insidetl1ercot`,as shown in fig. 1. AThrough this internal lip, c, holes aremade, so as to be opposite the holes which urefmade through .the glass,as above described, und through these holes sott metal rivets' e c arepassed, which huve heads on their outer ends, and which are firmlysecured in place by-mcans of a solderingiron, which will melt the innerends ofthe rivets'and head-them, at the same 'time uniting theends tothe inside of the lipe, as shown in figs. 1 and 5. This will make a firmand lsubstantial fastening, which is much n cater and better than theold mode of using cement for fastening on the covers.

By blowing the pitcher in a mould, and shaping the mputh and lip thereofin such mould, pitchers can be made of uniform shape and size, so thuttheir covers c'nnuberreadily fitted upon them. I

v By making the holes through'the glass, by ,the method above set forth,there will be n'o danger of hrenking the pit-chersduring suoli process,and the work can bo speedily and neatly done, and by fastening on thecoverl of the pitcher with rivets, ns described, a permunerit attachmentis readily eiiectcd.

Having described our invention, what wc claim as new, and desiretosecure by Letters Patent,"is-

1. As u new article of manufacture, n pitcher,'A B, Iproduced by blowingthe glass or other4 suitable material in a mould, and providing it witha-metu1lic`cov@r, substantially vas described. y

2. The' method herein described of pcrforating glass pitchersandsecuring' the covers `upon them, substan. tially as dcscribed. l l

Witness our hands in matter of our application for a patent forimprovement in manufacture of glass-ware.
